SELECTING MOUNTING LOCATIONS
When selecting a location to install the Twin Eagles Gas Infrared Heater, all the following conditions
must be met before the installation process:
1.
ANCHORING TO WALL OR CEILING
a.
If the heater is not anchored to support at least 100 lbs. (45 ½ kg) it could be a suspension
hazard.
Failure of the supports can result in death. Local codes regarding head clearance
requirements must be observed. Heaters shall be mounted in a fixed position independent of the
gas and electrical supply.
NOTE:
Use only the mounting brackets provided by the manufacturer. Heater must be leveled only on a
Horizontal Axis
but can be angled to a maximum of 30 degrees in reference to the floor.
DO NOT
mount the
heater on a vertical axis. Such installation is considered unsafe and improper and will automatically
VOID
the
product’s warranty.
2.
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS
a.
Combustible means material that can quickly catch fire if it comes in contact with sparks or fire.
The Twin Eagles heater is a remote controlled unit that strictly requires that each heater must be
installed such that the
“MINIMUM CLEARANCE TO COMBUSTIBLES”
are always met
and maintained. CAUTION should be taken when heaters are used near glass, vinyl siding or
other temperature sensitive construction materials. In some cases it may be necessary to increase
the clearance around the heater to avoid damage to vinyl siding. Check with the manufacturer of
the material siding for details
3.
WEATHER CONDITIONS
a.
This heater has been designed, tested and approved for outdoor installation and has passed basic
wind and rain tests. However, do not expose the heater under extremely harsh weather
conditions and very windy areas.
4.
FIRE SPRINKLERS
a.
Fire Sprinklers must be located at an appropriate distance from each heater to avoid accidental
activation of the sprinkler.
Ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, antifreeze solutions or any
other potentially flammable substance must never be used in fire sprinkler systems where
heaters are present as these substances may become flammable when heated
. A fire
sprinkler professional must be consulted when heaters are installed where fire sprinklers are
present to ensure that heaters and the fire sprinkler system are properly integrated. Specific
guidelines can be found in NFPA 13 regarding design and specifications for Fire Sprinkler
Systems near heaters.
5.
VENTILATION
a.
It is required that areas above the heater be properly vented to allow for necessary combustion air
and removal of combustion gases.
b.
DO NOT obstruct the flow of combustion and ventilation air to this heater. If using a propane
tank, keep the ventilation openings free and clear from debris.
c.
Heater must be in a location that allows uniform air pressure around the entire heater.
d.
Heaters shall be provided with natural or mechanical means to supply and exhaust at least 4
CFM per 1,000 BTU per hour of heater input. This equates to 150 CFM. Exhaust opening for
removing the flue products shall be above the level of the heaters.
e.
Heater ventilation must comply with state and local codes.
